The demuxer cache is the only cache now. Might need another change to
combat seeking failures in mp4 etc. The only bad thing is the loss of
cache-speed, which was sort of nice to have.
cehoyos, who did not agree to the relicensing, added bcb5c78ce3. If
there was copyright, we consider it gone, because the table changed. It
does not map file extension to a FourCC anymore, and codecs.conf is
gone. The new mapping is a libavcodec codec name (happens to be the same
as the file extension).
The same applies to commits 60ecafec, b749836b, 5b3e3be1. None of these
authors were contacted. These were before the code was replaced with a
table (in d0326807). The parts outside of demux_mf.c were removed a long
time ago. Like in the previous comment, we don't think any copyright
applies at least to the new code (at least after the FourCC removal).
iive authored 0aa37a0d, which is probably still left in some form, and
makes demux_mf.c "LGPL 3 or later".
stream_avdevice.c (unrelated) has been marked as LGPL before.
Because it's kind of dumb. (But not sure if it was worth the trouble.)
For stream_file.c, we add new explicit fields. The rest are rather
special uses and can be killed by comparing the stream impl. name.
The changes to DVD/BD/CD/TV are entirely untested.
While I'm not very fond of "const", it's important for declarations
(it decides whether a symbol is emitted in a read-only or read/write
section). Fix all these cases, so we have writeable global data only
when we really need.
For some reason, we support writeable streams. (Only encoding uses that,
and the use of it looks messy enough that I want to replace it with FILE
or avio today.)
It's a chaos: most streams do not actually check the mode parameter like
they should. Simplify it, and let streams signal availability of write
mode by setting a flag in the stream info struct.
demux_mf.c explicitly checks for the stream type to check whether images
are opened via pattern (mf://..., i.e. stream_mf.c) or directly. Of
course the stream type is not set to STREAMTYPE_MF if the stream is
wrapped through the cache, so it tried to open the pattern directly as
file, which failed.
Fix this by disabling caching for mf://. The cache doesn't make sense
here anyway, because each file is opened and closed every frame (perhaps
to avoid memory bloat).
The way the url_options field was handled was not entirely sane: it's
actually a flexible array member, so it points to garbage for streams
which do not initialize this member (it just points to the data right
after the struct, which is garbage in theory and practice). This was
not actually a problem, since the field is only used if priv_size is
set (due to how this stuff is used). But it doesn't allow setting
priv_size only, which might be useful in some cases.
Also, make the protocols array not a fixed size array. Most stream
implementations have only 1 protocol prefix, but stream_lavf.c has
over 10 (whitelists ffmpeg protocols). The high size of the fixed
size protocol array wastes space, and it is _still_ annoying to
add new prefixes to stream_lavf (have to bump the maximum length),
so make it arbitrary length.
The two changes (plus some more cosmetic changes) arte conflated into
one, because it was annoying going over all the stream implementations.
Move the URL parsing code from m_option.c to stream.c, and simplify it
dramatically. This code originates from times when http code used this,
but now it's just relict from other stream implementations reusing this
code. Remove the unused bits and simplify the rest.
stream_vcd is insane, and the priv struct is different on every
platform, so drop the URL parsing. This means you can't specify a track
anymore, only the device. (Does anyone use stream_vcd? Not like this
couldn't be fixed, but it doesn't seem worth the effort, especially
because it'd require potentially touching platform specific code.)
These were printed only with -v. Most streams had them set to useless
or redundant values, so it's just badly maintained bloat.
Since we remove the "author" field too, and since this may have
copyright implications, we add the contents of the author fields to
the file headers, except if the name is already part of the file header.
Get rid of the strange and messy reliance on DEMUXER_TYPE_ constants.
Instead of having two open functions for the demuxer callbacks (which
somehow are both optional, but you can also decide to implement both...),
just have one function. This function takes a parameter that tells the
demuxer how strictly it should check for the file headers. This is a
nice simplification and allows more flexibility.
Remove the file extension code. This literally did nothing (anymore).
Change demux_lavf so that we check our other builtin demuxers first
before libavformat tries to guess by file extension.
This removes the dependency on DEMUXER_TYPE_* and the file_format
parameter from the stream open functions.
Remove some of the playlist handling code. It looks like this was
needed only for loading linked mov files with demux_mov (which was
removed long ago).
Delete a minor bit of dead network-related code from stream.c as well.
Finish renaming directories and moving files. Adjust all include
statements to make the previous commit compile.
The two commits are separate, because git is bad at tracking renames
and content changes at the same time.
Also take this as an opportunity to remove the separation between
"common" and "mplayer" sources in the Makefile. ("common" used to be
shared between mplayer and mencoder.)
